How To Make lemon blueberry muffins
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a standard 12-count muffin pan with paper liners.
-
Step 2Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
-
Step 3Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or a handheld mixer on medium speed, cream the granulated sugar and butter until smooth and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low and add the egg, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix just until incorporated. Scrape down the bowl and beater when needed.
-
Step 4On low speed, add the milk and flour mixture in three intervals, alternating between the two. Scrape down the bowl and beater when needed.
-
Step 5Remove the bowl from the stand mixer and gently fold in the blueberries. Divide the muffin batter evenly between the liners. I like to use a 3-tablespoon scoop to make it equal and easy.
-
Step 6Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the muffins thoroughly on a wire rack.
-
Step 7Whisk the powdered sugar and lemon juice together. Add just enough lemon juice to get the desired consistency. Gently brush or drizzle the glaze over the muffins.
